lie Yesterday was the day 'appointed for the ,delivery of the . Premiums and Medals voted by this Society the respedivO Candidates during the present Session. Owing to. the great number of tickets which had teen issued, and the curiosity that prevailed' to wit ness the ceremony, a considerable prostire ,took place when the doors were opened. The,confusion Was so great, that it was some time before the be , slows could be regularly proceeded on. To prevent such an inconveniencefrom occurring again, it.per haps would be 'advisable to deliver ,the Premiums on different days ; one day might be allotted to those for Agriculture and Chemistry ; another day to those under the heads of Manufaclures, Mechanics and Colonies, and Trade. The distribution of the re wards for the Fine Arts might occupy a third day.— - Some arrangement of this kind would eft - eau:My prevent that pressure, which must 'be unavoidable when all the Candidates and their Friends are colleCt ed together at the same moment. Among the Company who attended on the pge sent riccasion were, the Margravine of Anspachi Captain Bolton of the Navy, and many other dis tinguished visitants. The Rewards were, as usual, delivered by the Duke of Norfolk (the President of the Sudety.) assisted by Dr. Taylor, the Secretary.

A disagreeable circumstance took place on Mon ! day night at Mrs. Eoaarotes, in Grafton-street. This Lady gave a ball and-supper, and several, hun dred guests were assembled. A Gentleman with a black mask on attempted, about one o'clock, to ob tain admittitice, and it was with some ditfictily that the phalank of servants prevented him. He was at length torced•aWay, after having lost the* greatest part of his coat in the contest, lie was supposed to be under the influence of Bacchus.

In the interlude of Personation Mrs, C. KESIBLE and BiIUNTON highly amused the audience.

Mr. H. mo wrGoll ER Y put a question relative to the Native Forces in India ; but in so low a tone of voice that we could not collect his meaning.' Mr. Duwims, in reply, observed, that t f he had no official information on the subjett, be could not doubt that the fad• stated by the Finn. Gentleman was trite. After a short conversation between Sir T. Turton and the Chancellor. of the Itxchequer, the InSolverat Debtor's Rdl was read a second titne;and ordered to be committed to-morrow. The plan in embryo-for the re-erenion of Dtr )an© Theatre, is,said to 'be by a Lottery, to raise :00,0001. the Tickets to be guineas each, and the.

The. dispute between the Proprietors. of Covent Garden Theatre; andlinDunu the Publican claiming ,possession for eleven years of the acite.of a . pieceof ground enclosed within the wails, and. under 'the roof of the new Theatre, was yesterday finally ad justed by the payment of 5,000 guineas for the Publican's interest therein . The.case was briefly this :-t-Nfr. Harris purchased of Messrs. 'Clowes, aAel Maddox the lease of the. public house situate oa the disputed 'ground, on a Alinement that the occu pier was only a tenant at will. it cattle out howe ver after the public bowie was pulled down, and the ground included within the works of th e newTheat re, that the tenant had a valid agreement tbr a lease, of which eleven years were unexpired; the consequence was,, that the Proprietdrs were no sooner convinced of the plaintiff's right in equity, than, with their usual libesahty, they made him ample compensa tion by the payment of .the .sum above stated.-- Messrs. Clothes rind Maddox having guaranteed to the Proprietors the legal possession of the'house and ground, under the penalty of 10001. will of course be called upon, at. least, for this share of contribu, tion towards Mr. Dnun's A Message from the Lords announced their Lxtrd- . ships' assent to the Smualing Prevention Bill, the Printers' Indemnity •13111,. the Africau Trade Bill, the Bastardy Bill, &c.• Mr. iloaNait postponed the ,notice of his Hon..

After %further conversation, in which Mr. Hutch inson, Mr. Jacob ) the Chancellor of the .Ekchequer, Sir J. Newport, and Gen; Tarleton, Gen. Gascoyne, withdrew his Motion ; giving notice; that early in the next. Session he would submit to the House ai Motion on the subjed. A new writ was Ordered to ba made out for Glas gow, in the room of Lord John Campbell, who since his ele&ion had accepted the office of Steward °Ethic Chiltern Hundred. MR. BEAUCHAMP HILL. Sir J. NEIVPONT in pursuance ol his notice called the attention ,of the House to a violation: of the Sta. tote Of Regulation of the Revenue of Ireland. ft it should appetir that a promotion had been mad: : in that department of the State, in express opposition to a disqualifying aft, and even as a reward for tnis condu6t, it surely was a subject dernitidirig the at- , tention of that H ouse . Th e i n di v i dual to 'whom he alluded was Mr. Beauchamp Hill, who having vio lated the law 'by taking eo guineas a nsotttlt for doing that which by the law he was bound to do .without fee or, reward, was subsequently, on the Nth March ; 18 - 08, promoted to be an fospetior General in that vary department in which he hadcornmil led't his groan miscondua. if such proceedings were passed over with impunity, the statutes would become waste paper. The .I-lon. Baronet concluded, by moving three Resolutions. to the following effect. " That it appeared to the /loupe that by the Statute of the 46th of Ceo. 111. c. 88, it was enacted, that any Officer of Excise in Ireland, who directly or 'indirectly received front any Distiller, &c. any fee or, gratuity, should be deemed guilty of a misdemeanour, arid should be rendered incapable of serving again in that department. .! That it appeared to the douse, by the Fifth Report'd the Irish CollifillSsioiters, tint in Sept. 1806, Mr. !Beau: champ I lill declared heroic the. Comnussinners, that he had r.ceivetl twenty guineas per mouth from two distillers in I relo a d." That it appeared to the I linve, that notwithst:indigg Mr. Beauchamp Hill had, by Ins own confession. violated the tatute and Regulation of the Revenue of Ireland, and had ilicurred the pm:l:tics thereof, he was, on the Bth of March, t8.:8, promoted to the re s p ons ibl e office oilnipee.tori. Getter oin that very department of te n Revenue, the duties of which be had taus diredity violated." Mr. FOSTER observed, that the confession made by Mr, Hill to the Commissipners bad been entirely voluntary. The corruption was so extensive, that all th,i Surveyors were implicated ; but if the Go , vurnment of Ireland lra.l 'discharged the whole, they would hiwe been left without a Imo to do the pub,' lie business. There. had been • . a kind of understood ing with Mr. Chid, that on hit dovuloping the whole truth, 'he should befndernnitied from prosecution ; and he had been informed that he was a very excel•, lent ottiver. UndOr All the cireutnstances - of the case he felt it his duty to move the previous tides- Mr. Hurcutirsox defended the Revenue partment of Ireland from *imputation, cast upori them by the Right lio.:Gentletnan, who had j ust spoken,. of bcint - Wholly: corrupt. It was u most disgroattl and libellous charge; but even had every man been corrupt, every man ought 'to have been dismissed tram his dike. He could • not conceka it possible that any decision could make a more un. favourable impression on -the public mind, titan that the House of Commona should. go to the previous question, on a subjea of this nature. Since he had come clown to the House that evening, he had heard with great satisfacaion, that Ministers had advised his Majesty to, Appel- the commission granted to a Noble Lord, and which was the subject of discus sion on a recent evening. He trusted that a similar recommendation n ,would take place on the present . Occasion. Mr. Fos-ran explained, that he had stated hisbe liet that very tew of the inferior Officers of the Excise of Ireland were free from that species of cor ruption, and that the pra&ce was so general that it Must be known,by their superiors; Mr. CROKRR stated the inadeqUacy orlhe salary of an Irish gauger, before the late increase, to keep him alive, and.their not starving he considered at a proof of their taking money from distillers. • Ger. tlemen might argues on' iih,traa nolnical inciplep, that the crime was•ationairiatile; hut it did not meet With 'so MOO • reprehention as in the present in- Stance, when the Custotn-house fees in. England and Ireland were brought before the klou. , con demned and ahrlished. He entered into compari son between the offences of Mr. Hill, and th© per sons removed, to Whom, he sucteeded; the latter were guilty of Subornation of, perjury, and the To r ,. trier simply of taking n monthly gratuity, such a 3 was received by every supervisor in Ireland. The praCiice of taking these tees was not considered des honourable ,or disgraceful, andit was sattaioned . its generality, and connived at by the liJard; of lie. venue.
